Overview
Quantil serves content downloads, video and live-stream delivery. CDN Pro is its configurable delivery platform.
- Manage properties, traffic routing and deployments through the portal or API.
- Customize request and response behavior with Edge Logic.
- Test configuration in staging before production deployment.
Quantil also advertises OpenStack-based virtual machines and Kubernetes edge compute. These compute services have separate deployment and billing requirements.
Network
Coverage choices
CDN Pro lets you select coverage and cache-to-origin paths. Parent caches provide hierarchical delivery; a dedicated origin shield requires support. Ask for the current cache locations and service groups available for your audience.
Mainland China
Local delivery requires valid ICP Beian for each hostname and customer-service enablement. Invalid registration can lead to delivery errors. The separately enabled Near China option uses Hong Kong servers and different pricing; it is not mainland-local delivery.
Confirm the contracted server groups and test your audience before choosing a coverage/performance budget. Historical PoP counts are not a current location list.

Delivery and caching
CDN Pro supports HTTP/3 property settings and configurable TLS 1.3. Multi-tier caching, stale responses on origin errors and background refresh are configurable. Purges support files, wildcards and regular expressions, with progress reporting; invalidation can retain stale content for origin failures.
Security and programmability
Edge Logic supports NGINX configuration and JavaScript request processing, signed-content controls and basic browser challenges. Ask which managed bot-detection controls are available beyond the scripted challenge. Quantil’s WAF platform and DDoS services need separate checks for included features and contract terms.
Streaming and logs
Live and on-demand delivery includes HLS/DASH traffic; native packaging, DRM and RTMP ingest are unconfirmed. Configured log exports and realtime streams are distinct services. WebSockets require HTTP/1.1 and the appropriate directive. Ask about required image processing or application state before choosing an edge workflow.
Pricing
Build a coverage-specific quote
CDN Pro’s coverage controls balance cost and performance. Request delivery rates by server group, request charges, traffic commitments and optional security, shielding and log fees. Near China has separate pricing and activation.
The current terms describe a USD 50 trial-usage threshold and a minimum USD 50 monthly commitment when converting that trial to a paid account. The terms’ linked public pricing page currently returns an error, so current per-GB rates remain unconfirmed.
Enter a confirmed rate and monthly minimum in the calculator. Get the delivery unit rate from the supplier quote, enter the commitment as a monthly minimum and add optional feature charges separately.
Developer tools
Configuration
The JSON API supports portal operations and advanced property configuration. Staging, validation and deployment let teams incorporate delivery changes into their release process. Edge Logic uses NGINX directives and JavaScript, rather than implying a general-purpose application runtime.
Observability
Configure logfile exports before downloading them; retention and export intervals are separate from realtime log streaming to a designated endpoint. Confirm sampling, format, permissions and delivery guarantees.
Origin protection
Signed-content rules, secrets and origin certificate validation are documented. Verify optional WAF integration and dedicated origin shielding. Ask which Terraform resources and migration tools are supported for your configuration.
When it fits
- Teams needing detailed API and Edge Logic control over caching and routing.
- Download or media delivery with tested coverage and a negotiated budget.
- Mainland China projects that can meet domain-registration and service requirements.
Before you choose
- Mainland-local delivery needs registration and service enablement.
- Get a quote for your coverage, requests and optional features.
- Check any required general-purpose runtime, native media processing or managed bot protection before designing around it.
